better <GEN29 -19> And Laban said, [It is] {better} that I give
her
to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with
me.
better <EXO14 -12> Is] not this the word that we did tell thee in
Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For
[it had been] {better} for us to serve the Egyptians, than that
we
should die in the wilderness.
better <NUM14 -3> And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto
this
land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children
should
be a prey? were it not {better} for us to return into Egypt?
better <JUG8 -2> And he said unto them, What have I done now in
comparison of you? [Is] not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim
{better} than the vintage of Abiezer?
better <JUG9 -2> Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of
Shechem, Whether [is] {better} for you, either that all the sons
of
Jerubbaal, [which are] threescore and ten persons, reign over
you,
or that one reign over you? remember also that I [am]
your bone and your flesh.
better <JUG11 -25> And now [art] thou any thing {better} than
Balak
the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against
Israel,
or did he ever fight against them,
better <JUG18 -19> And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay
thine
hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a
priest: [is it] {better} for thee to be a priest unto the house
of
one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a f
amily in Israel?
better <RUT4 -15> And he shall be unto thee a restorer of [thy]
life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law,
which loveth thee, which is {better} to thee than seven sons,
hath
borne him.
better <1SA1 -8> Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah,
why
weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart
grieved?
[am] not I {better} to thee than ten sons?
better <1SA15 -22> And Samuel said, Hath the LORD [as great]
delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the
voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey [is] {better} than sacrifice,
[and] to hearken than the fat of rams.
better <1SA15 -28> And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent
the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a
neighbour of thine, [that is] {better} than thou.
better <1SA27 -1> And David said in his heart, I shall now
perish one day by the hand of Saul: [there is] nothing {better}
for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the
Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more
in any
coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.
better <2SA17 -14> And Absalom and all the men of Israel said,
The counsel of Hushai the Archite [is] {better} than the counsel
of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good
counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring
evi
l upon Absalom.
better <2SA18 -3> But the people answered, Thou shalt not go
forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither
if half of us die, will they care for us: but now [thou art]
worth ten thousand of us: therefore now [it is] {better} that
thou suc
cour us out of the city.
better <1KI1 -47> And moreover the king's servants came to bless
our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon
{better} than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy
throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed.
better <1KI2 -32> And the LORD shall return his blood upon his
own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and {better} than
he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing
[thereof, to wit], Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of I
srael, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
better <1KI19 -4> But he himself went a day's journey into the
wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he
requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough;
now, O LORD, take away my life; for I [am] not {better} than my
fathers.
better <1KI21 -2> And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me
thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because
it [is] near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a
{better} vineyard than it; [or], if it seem good to thee, I will
give t
hee the worth of it in money.
better <2KI5 -12> Are] not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus,
{better} than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them,
and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
better <2CH21 -13> But hast walked in the way of the kings of
Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to
go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and
also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, [which were]
{b
etter} than thyself:
better <EST1 -19> If it please the king, let there go a royal
commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of
the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti
come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her
royal
estate unto another that is {better} than she.
better <PSA37 -16> A little that a righteous man hath [is]
{better} than the riches of many wicked.
better <PSA63 -3> Because thy lovingkindness [is] {better} than
life, my lips shall praise thee.
better <PSA69 -31> This] also shall please the LORD {better}
than an ox [or] bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
better <PSA84 -10> For a day in thy courts [is] {better} than a
thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
better <PSA118 -8> It is] {better} to trust in the LORD than to
put confidence in man.
better <PSA118 -9> It is] {better} to trust in the LORD than to
put confidence in princes.
better <PSA119 -72> The law of thy mouth [is] {better} unto me
than thousands of gold and silver.
better <PRO3 -14> For the merchandise of it [is] {better} than
the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
better <PRO8 -11> For wisdom [is] {better} than rubies; and all
the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
better <PRO8 -19> My fruit [is] {better} than gold, yea, than
fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
better <PRO12 -9> He that is] despised, and hath a servant, [is]
{better} than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
better <PRO15 -16> {Better} [is] little with the fear of the
LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
better <PRO15 -17> {Better} [is] a dinner of herbs where love is,
than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
better <PRO16 -8> {Better} [is] a little with righteousness than
great revenues without right.
better <PRO16 -16> How much {better} [is it] to get wisdom than
gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
better <PRO16 -19> {Better} [it is to be] of an humble spirit
with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
better <PRO16 -32> He that is] slow to anger [is] {better} than
the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a
city.
better <PRO17 -1> {Better} [is] a dry morsel, and quietness
therewith, than an house full of sacrifices [with] strife.
better <PRO19 -1> {Better} [is] the poor that walketh in his
integrity, than [he that is] perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
better <PRO19 -22> The desire of a man [is] his kindness: and a
poor man [is] {better} than a liar.
better <PRO21 -9> It is] {better} to dwell in a corner of the
housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
better <PRO21 -19> It is] {better} to dwell in the wilderness,
than with a contentious and an angry woman.
better <PRO25 -7> For {better} [it is] that it be said unto thee,
Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the
presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
better <PRO25 -24> It is] {better} to dwell in the corner of the
housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
better <PRO27 -5> Open rebuke [is] {better} than secret love.
better <PRO27 -10> Thine own friend, and thy father's friend,
forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of
thy calamity: [for] {better} [is] a neighbour [that is] near
than a brother far off.
better <PRO28 -6> {Better} [is] the poor that walketh in his
uprightness, than [he that is] perverse [in his] ways, though he
[be] rich.
better <ECC2 -24> There is] nothing {better} for a man, [than]
that he should eat and drink, and [that] he should make his soul
enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it [was] from
the hand of God.
better <ECC3 -22> Wherefore I perceive that [there is] nothing
{better}, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for
that [is] his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall
be after him?
better <ECC4 -3> Yea, {better} [is he] than both they, which
hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done
under the sun.
better <ECC4 -6> {Better} [is] an handful [with] quietness, than
both the hands full [with] travail and vexation of spirit.
better <ECC4 -9> Two [are] {better} than one; because they have
a good reward for their labour.
better <ECC4 -13> {Better} [is] a poor and a wise child than an
old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
better <ECC5 -5> {Better} [is it] that thou shouldest not vow,
than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
better <ECC6 -3> If a man beget an hundred [children], and live
many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul
be not filled with good, and also [that] he have no burial; I
say, [that] an untimely birth [is] {better} than he.
better <ECC6 -9> {Better} [is] the sight of the eyes than the
wandering of the desire: this [is] also vanity and vexation of
spirit.
better <ECC6 -11> Seeing there be many things that increase
vanity, what [is] man the {better}?
better <ECC7 -1> A good name [is] {better} than precious
ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
better <ECC7 -2> It is] {better} to go to the house of mourning,
than to go to the house of feasting: for that [is] the end of
all men; and the living will lay [it] to his heart.
better <ECC7 -3> Sorrow [is] {better} than laughter: for by the
sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
better <ECC7 -3> Sorrow [is] better than laughter: for by the
sadness of the countenance the heart is made {better}.
better <ECC7 -5> It is] {better} to hear the rebuke of the wise,
than for a man to hear the song of fools.
better <ECC7 -8> {Better} [is] the end of a thing than the
beginning thereof: [and] the patient in spirit [is] better than
the proud in spirit.
better <ECC7 -8> Better [is] the end of a thing than the
beginning thereof: [and] the patient in spirit [is] {better}
than the proud in spirit.
better <ECC7 -10> Say not thou, What is [the cause] that the
former days were {better} than these? for thou dost not inquire
wisely concerning this.
better <ECC8 -15> Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no
{better} thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to
be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days
of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
better <ECC9 -4> For to him that is joined to all the living
there is hope: for a living dog is {better} than a dead lion.
better <ECC9 -16> Then said I, Wisdom [is] {better} than
strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom [is] despised, and
his words are not heard.
better <ECC9 -18> Wisdom [is] {better} than weapons of war: but
one sinner destroyeth much good.
better <ECC10 -11> Surely the serpent will bite without
enchantment; and a babbler is no {better}.
better <SON1 -2> Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth:
for thy love [is] {better} than wine.
better <SON4 -10> How fair is thy love, my sister, [my] spouse!
how much {better} is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine
ointments than all spices!
better <ISA56 -5> Even unto them will I give in mine house and
within my walls a place and a name {better} than of sons and of
daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not
be cut off.
better <LAM4 -9> They that be] slain with the sword are {better}
than [they that be] slain with hunger: for these pine away,
stricken through for [want of] the fruits of the field.
better <EZE36 -11> And I will multiply upon you man and beast;
and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you
after your old estates, and will do {better} [unto you] than at
your beginnings: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
better <DAN1 -20> And in all matters of wisdom [and]
understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten
times {better} than all the magicians [and] astrologers that
[were] in all his realm.
better <HOS2 -7> And she shall follow after her lovers, but she
shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not
find [them]: then shall she say, I will go and return to my
first husband; for then [was it] {better} with me than now.
better <AMO6 -2> Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence
go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the
Philistines: [be they] {better} than these kingdoms? or their
border greater than your border?
better <JON4 -3> Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my
life from me; for [it is] {better} for me to die than to live.
better <JON4 -8> And it came to pass, when the sun did arise,
that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon
the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die,
and said, [It is] {better} for me to die than to live.
better <NAH3 -8> Art thou {better} than populous No, that was
situate among the rivers, [that had] the waters round about it,
whose rampart [was] the sea, [and] her wall [was] from the sea?
better <MAT6 -26> Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not,
neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly
Father feedeth them. Are ye not much {better} than they?
better <MAT12 -12> How much then is a man {better} than a sheep?
Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
better <MAT18 -6> But whoso shall offend one of these little
ones which believe in me, it were {better} for him that a
millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned
in the depth of the sea.
better <MAT18 -8> Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee,
cut them off, and cast [them] from thee: it is {better} for thee
to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands
or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
better <MAT18 -9> And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out,
and cast [it] from thee: it is {better} for thee to enter into
life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into
hell fire.
better <MAR9 -42> And whosoever shall offend one of these]
little ones that believe in me, it is {better} for him that a
millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the
sea.
better <MAR9 -43> And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is
{better} for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two
hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be
quenched:
better <MAR9 -45> And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is
{better} for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet
to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
better <MAR9 -47> And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it
is {better} for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one
eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
better <LUK5 -39> No man also having drunk old wine] straightway
desireth new: for he saith, The old is {better}.
better <LUK12 -24> Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor
reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth
them: how much more are ye {better} than the fowls?
better <LUK17 -2> It were {better} for him that a millstone were
hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he
should offend one of these little ones.
better <ROM3 -9> What then? are we {better} than they]? No, in
no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that
they are all under sin;
better <1CO7 -9> But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for
it is {better} to marry than to burn.
better <1CO7 -38> So then he that giveth her] in marriage doeth
well; but he that giveth her] not in marriage doeth {better}.
better <1CO8 -8> But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither,
if we eat, are we the {better}; neither, if we eat not, are we
the worse.
better <1CO9 -15> But I have used none of these things: neither
have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me:
for it were] {better} for me to die, than that any man should
make my glorying void.
better <1CO11 -17> Now in this that I declare unto you] I praise
you] not, that ye come together not for the {better}, but for
the worse.
better <PHP1 -23> For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a
desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far {better}:
better <PHP2 -3> Let] nothing be done] through strife or
vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other
{better} than themselves.
better <HEB1 -4> Being made so much {better} than the angels, as
he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
better <HEB6 -9> But, beloved, we are persuaded {better} things
of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus
speak.
better <HEB7 -7> And without all contradiction the less is
blessed of the {better}.
better <HEB7 -19> For the law made nothing perfect, but the
bringing in of a {better} hope did]; by the which we draw nigh
unto God.
better <HEB7 -22> By so much was Jesus made a surety of a
{better} testament.
better <HEB8 -6> But now hath he obtained a more excellent
ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better
covenant, which was established upon {better} promises.
better <HEB8 -6> But now hath he obtained a more excellent
ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a {better}
covenant, which was established upon better promises.
better <HEB9 -23> It was] therefore necessary that the patterns
of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the
heavenly things themselves with {better} sacrifices than these.
better <HEB10 -34> For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and
took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves
that ye have in heaven a {better} and an enduring substance.
better <HEB11 -16> But now they desire a {better} country], that
is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their
God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
better <HEB11 -35> Women received their dead raised to life
again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that
they might obtain a {better} resurrection:
better <HEB11 -40> God having provided some {better} thing for
us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
better <HEB12 -24> And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant,
and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh {better} things
than that of] Abel.
better <1PE3 -17> For it is] {better}, if the will of God be so,
that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
better <2PE2 -21> For it had been {better} for them not to have
known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it],
to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
